CAUGHT! 2013 Ram 1500

Engineers are hard at work on the 2013 Ram 1500, and one of their test trucks with minimal camouflage is shown here. It appears the 1500 will get a tougher look, more in line with the Ram HD models. You can see a new grille with bigger horizontal slats and a huge crosshair. The bumper cover also has a fresh design, with new openings for foglights and tow hooks. The final model may employ a different hood and headlights from this image, and it's rumored the Ram 1500 will get Chrysler's 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
